We had a lovely stay at this Inn. The rooms were very comfortable and the shower was great. All the staff we came across were friendly and professional. The breakfast was amazing (Full English) with really fresh quality produce in a wonderful setting.
This was a lovely overnight spot. Rooms were well appointed with nice amenities. Clean and cozy. Breakfast was good, especially appreciated meal was included. Highly recommend.
Couldn’t have wished for a nicer stay. Perfect location to travel into London with frequent trains from Harpenden station.
The room was lovely and spacious. The bathroom was luxurious.
Breakfast was excellent with great choice and service.
Highly recommend.
the room was an excellent size as well as the bathroom, just a couple of things let it down was torn net curtain in the bedroom, the mastic around the shower needs attention as well as the painted wardrobe.
overall the stay was excellent and the breakfast was well presented and it was great value for money
The room was beautiful with a comfortable bed and huge bath. Staff kindly let me check in early as I was going to a local function. The pub itself looked very nice as well.
My room looked out over the garden and it was a summer evening so the staff told me it might be a little noisy until closing time. But I didn't find it noisy and was then very quiet during the night.
A very nice place to stay but quite expensive.
Hotel/Pub very nice - staff super friendly. Would stay again when in Harpenden for sure.
That said
Only issues I had - Parking. Harpenden in general is awful and there isn't much in the way of long term parking near the hotel that I could find.
Also when I checked in - I hadn't realised I paid vis Hotes.com and ended up paying again at the hotel - still trying to sort out but that is more down to me keep missing the manager - they have been helpful.

Staff were nice, room was ok, but i was at the front of the building with a very busy road, noisy all night with single pane glass windows. Also don't plan on eating on a Monday, they don't do food then.

Quiet, space and clean comfy room. Great breakfast, friendly staff.
it was easy to check in the room was delightful and the landlord and staff all very helpful. well worth the stay. the location is convenient for everything.
Quite noisy as room overlooked marquee and music though quite a civilised gathering and it looked pretty with lights and flowers and cocktails! Inn has been well renovated with quirky fun interiors. It is very comfortable and very clean. Would definitely stay again.
The bedrooms were well decorated and comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and efficient, and the manager/owner was very accommodating to our groups requests. Only downside is no car park, but you can park for free a couple of mins walk away and wasn't really an issue for us
Superb room with great bed and sheets. Bar and restaurant onsite is superb and a huge plus.
Staff are super friendly and accommodating.
FYI there are no taxis waiting if u arrive by rail so plan for that.
Booked through Expedia and it clearly showed that the property provides a free breakfast but on arrival we were told we had to pay extra for breakfast.

The parking status was not clear. There is no onsite parking and I don’t think you can say parking is included if you are having to use a public car park a few minutes walk away. Apart from the parking it was a decent property for one night.
